I am astrong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himselfand will be successful in his own way.

   Several weeks ago，I was doing homeworkwith my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to goover the math lines．I kept asking him tosit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but secondslater, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again．I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate whenhe stood up．Could he be moreintent while standing up？[来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K]

This mademe start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I wasraised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline to study hard, get goodgrades and become someone important in life．

Now thosesame people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their ownsets of DNA and personality traits，and allyou can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be ourkids' best cheerleaders，guidingthem and helping them find their way.

    Ihave stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things．Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carryit through generations．There isnothing sweeter than being individual and unique．It makesus free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life．
